Dalby's Accelerated SAT Class for High Math AchieversAre you worried that your high SAT scores are not quite high enough? Are you planning on taking the SAT soon? Are you dismayed that some SAT classes require a huge time commitment?
Dalby's Accelerated SAT Class for High Math Achievers is the answer. We at Dalby respect our students and can't imagine why any advanced student already starting with reading and writing scores in the 600s and math in the 700s would need to spend over forty hours of class time to get top scores. It simply isn't necessary. And it certainly isn't necessary to shell out over $1,200 to get your best scores. Look how well our March 2007 students improved after just eight hours of class instruction and lots of practice. The students averaged: a gain of 42.50 pts on the reading for an average score of 715. a gain of 40 pts on the math for an average score of 712.5 a gain of 105 pts on the writing for an average score of 727.50. The range of improvement: 40-50 pts. reading 0-70 pts. math 0-70 pts., (it's hard to raise an 800!) 80-120 pts. writing Essays usually started around 6 out of 12 and ended in a range of 8-11 out of 12. One girl in our June 2007 accelerated class started with 700R/650M/540W on a previous SAT got a 770R/720M/700W (a 300 point increase) on the June SAT. She wanted it and she got it. And she's very happy. You've got the brains, all you need is Dalby to show you how to use them. The key is guided practice. You can practice on your own and spin your wheels, or you can learn key advice that makes the practice pay off. Over 20 years experience qualifies us to teach you how to do it. All classes are taught by either Kate or Rick Dalby. Here is what just one of our many happy students has to say about her experience with Dalby: Thanks to Dalby I surpassed my goal for the SAT the first time I took the test after attending Dalby's classes. Not only does Dalby teach you how to solve specific types of test problems and give you test taking tips, but the classes work to meet the needs of each individual. To me, that's what sets Dalby apart from the others. –Viola Li TJHSST '09 What's involved in the class?Dalby Test Preparation of McLean, VA is offering advanced students a five-week accelerated course for the October 2010 test dates.This class is especially designed for students scoring very high on the math (~700 or more on the diagnostic SAT) but needing help on the reading and the writing sections of the SAT (minimum scores ~600).
